Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

29, 30. Do not abuse confidence and avoid litigation.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:27-35 Our business is to observe the precepts of Christ, and to copy his example; to do justice, to love mercy, and to beware of covetousness; to be ready for every good work, avoiding needless strife, and bearing evils, if possible, rather than seeking redress by law. It will be found there is little got by striving. Let us not envy prosperous oppressors; far be it from the disciples of Christ to choose any of their ways. These truths may be despised by the covetous and luxurious, but everlasting contempt will be the portion of such scorners, while Divine favour is shown to the humble believer.


Proverbs 6:14 Who with perversity in his heart continually devises evil, Who spreads strife.
Proverbs 14:22 Will they not go astray who devise evil? But kindness and truth will be to those who devise good. (NASB ©1995)
